Becoming Mulan? : female Western migrants to ISIS

Authors: Carolyn Hoyle; Alexandra Bradford; Ross Frenett.
Published:    London : Institute for Strategic Dialogue, 2015.

Contents: Introduction. --
Reasons for travel. --
Reality of life for female ISIS migrants. --
Threat currently posed. --
Possible future threat. --
Conclusion. --
Endnotes.

Summary: The current flow of foreigners to Syria and Iraq is remarkable not only for its scale, but also for its inclusion of many women. This report aims to provide insight into the female migrants, examining the reasons they migrate, the reality of their lives in ISIS-controlled territory, and the potential risk they pose. While there is a large online ecosystem of female ISIS supporters, this study will focus specifically on Western women who are believed to be currently residing in ISIS-controlled territory.

Newly Open Access Journal: CEMOTI, Cahiers d'Études sur la Méditerranée Orientale et le monde Turco-Iranien

CEMOTI, Cahiers d'Études sur la Méditerranée Orientale et le monde Turco-Iranien
eISSN - 1777-5396
http://www.persee.fr/renderCollectionCover/cemot.png
Les CEMOTI couvrent une vaste région géographique qui s’étend des Balkans et de la Méditerranée orientale à l’Asie centrale ex-soviétique et au Xinjiang en passant par le Caucase. La complexité des réalités et le fait que la publication a attiré des cercles sans cesse élargis et diversifiés de lecteurs ont impliqué un questionnement croisé, faisant appel à toutes les ressources des sciences humaines. Les sciences politiques constituant la colonne vertébrale de la revue sont étroitement associées à d’autres disciplines, notamment l’histoire contemporaine, les sciences économiques, la géographie humaine, l’anthropologie et la sociologie. 

Fondés en 1985, les CEMOTI, ont été édités et diffusés avec le concours du Centre d'étude et de recherche international de la Fondation nationale des sciences politiques, du Centre national de la recherche scientifique et du Centre national du livre. Depuis 2010, la nouvelle série qui paraît sous la dénomination ANATOLI est publiée par CNRS Éditions.

Open Access Journal: Middle East – Topics & Arguments

Middle East - Topics & Arguments
ISSN: 2196-629X
Middle East – Topics & Arguments is a unique platform for innovative research on the Middle East combining disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches. Articles critically reevaluate established scholarly traditions and think beyond entrenched disciplinary boundaries. By bringing together well-known academics and young scholars with international backgrounds, a broad range of perspectives will ensure lively debates.

Middle East – Topics and Arguments wants to encourage interdisciplinary discussion on two levels: Firstly, between social sciences and humanities in the field of Middle Eastern studies, and secondly, between Middle Eastern studies and the systematic disciplines. We thereby aim at integrating regional academic discourse into a global setting. We hope to ensure trans-regional comparability, thus leaving behind the notion of cultural and religious exceptionalism which has for a long been connected with Middle Eastern studies.
Each issue of Middle East – Topics & Arguments focuses on one main topic. This allows for perspectives from different disciplines, such as:

cultural studies
literary studies
linguistics
history
political science
sociology
anthropology
economics
ancient studies

New Open Access Journal: Hadīth and Sīra Studies

Hadīth and Sīra Studies
http://magazine.hadithandsira.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/logo.png
The mission to understand Prophet Muhammad and present his message to the world based on primary sources, which Meridyen Association began in 2007 with the launch of the LastProphet.info web portal, is now expanding to a new field.

A peer-reviewed academic journal, Hadīth and Sīra Studies, is the next step in a line of academic activities that include “The Hadīth and Sīra Research Awards”, “Sīra Workshop” and “International Sīra Studies Symposium” conducted under the Lastprophet.info project. With the focus of gathering academic research of the Prophet Muhammad’s life to reveal universal guiding principles applicable to both Muslims and non-Muslims alike, this biannual journal seeks to make a meaningful contribution to the field of hadīth and sīra studies.

Hadīth and Sīra Studies recognizes the rigorous intellectual standards set by Western academia and aims to adhere to them from its first issue as part of its long-term goal to become a leading international publication. In line with its interdisciplinary perspective, Hadīth and Sīra Studies welcomes contributions from diverse fields of research.

How primary Islamic sources have been understood and interpreted throughout history shapes the way they are understood by the present generation. It is therefore necessary to both convey the Islamic tradition through a re-evaluation and analysis of the literature written during previous centuries, and to make it relevant to contemporary problems. The critical and philosophical ideas voiced since the 18th century in both the East and West cannot be ignored and must be engaged with by hadīth and sīra studies. Classical Islamic texts should be reread and at the same time rediscovered in light of these intellectual developments. In tackling these significant issues, the importance of adopting both an international and interdisciplinary approach becomes clear. At this current time, Hadīth and Sīra Studies intends to publish articles in Arabic, English, German and French in addition to Turkish.

We welcome your academic contributions addressing the separate or common issues of hadīth and sīra studies, as well as those connecting them to relevant disciplines, for our second issue which will be published in May 2016.

Deadline for submissions: 15th March 2016

Cambridge Digital Library - Islamic Manuscripts

[First posted in AMIR 4 January 2012, updated 5 November 2015 (300 newly added Arabic papyri to our Michaelides Collection,, etc. )]




Cambridge Digital Library - Islamic Manuscripts

"Cambridge University Library's collection of Islamic manuscripts dates from the origins of Arabic scholarship in Cambridge in the 1630s when the University founded a Professorship in Arabic and William Bedwell donated a Qur'an to the Library. Since that time the collection has grown in size and diversity to over 5,000 works, including the collections of Thomas Erpenius, J.L.Burckhardt, E.H.Palmer and E.G. Browne. These manuscripts shed light on many aspects of the Islamic world, its beliefs and learning..."
November Update
3/11/2015

November Update

Our November release sees major additions to our online holdings of early Near Eastern fragments. We have added over 300 Arabic papyri to our Michaelides Collection, comprising personal letters, legal texts, accounts, literary texts, recipes and other documents, the majority of which have not yet been subject to academic study. This brings to an end the first phase of a project to put the complete Michaelides Collection online.
We have also added over 300 fragments from the newly conserved Lewis-Gibson collection, including L-G Arabic 1.23, an early leaf from Saadya Gaon's Book of Beliefs and Opinions. Saadya Gaon (882–942 CE) was one of the most influential Jewish thinkers of the early Middle Ages and this influence can be seen in the hundreds of copies of his writings — many from works that had been lost — that have been discovered in the Cairo Genizah.
Lastly, we have added around 200 letters and legal documents from the Taylor-Schechter Genizah collection that shed light on community affairs. T-S 16.149 is a 13th-century letter sent from Alexandria to the head of the Jewish community in Cairo, explaining that their local judge had rudely and pointedly left while a visiting Iraqi preacher was in the middle of delivering a sermon. The Alexandrians wrote their letter in support of the visiting preacher and to explain that their local judge had in fact behaved badly.
